Known Subclasses:: BitmapComboBox

wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox is a combobox with owner-drawn list items. In essence, it is a wx.combo.ComboCtrl with a wx.VListBox popup and a wx.ControlWithItems API.

Implementing item drawing and measuring is similar to wx.VListBox. The application needs to subclass wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox and implement the OnDrawItem, OnMeasureItem and OnMeasureItemWidth methods.

Method Summary
OwnerDrawnComboBox	`__init__(self, parent, id, value, pos, size, choices, style, validator, name)` Standard constructor.
bool	`Create(self, parent, id, value, pos, size, choices, style, validator, name)` Create the UI object, and other initialization.
int	`GetWidestItem(self)` Return the index of the widest item (recalculating it if necessary.)
int	`GetWidestItemWidth(self)` Return the widest item width (recalculating it if necessary.)
	`OnDrawBackground(self, dc, rect, item, flags)` This method is used to draw the items background and, maybe, a border around it.
	`OnDrawItem(self, dc, rect, item, flags)` The derived class may implement this function to actually draw the item with the given index on the provided DC.
int	`OnMeasureItem(self, item)` The derived class may implement this method to return the height of the specified item (in pixels).
int	`OnMeasureItemWidth(self, item)` The derived class may implement this method to return the width of the specified item (in pixels).
	`SetMark(self, from, to)`

Class Variable Summary

Instance Method Details

init(self, parent, id=-1, value=EmptyString, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, choices=wxPyEmptyStringArray, style=0, validator=DefaultValidator, name=wxPyComboBoxNameStr)
(Constructor)

Standard constructor.

Parameters:: parent
(type=Window); id
(type=int); value
(type=String); pos
(type=Point); size
(type=Size); choices
(type=wxArrayString); style
(type=long); validator
(type=Validator); name
(type=String)

Returns:: OwnerDrawnComboBox

Overrides:: wx.combo.ComboCtrl.__init__

Create(self, parent, id=-1, value=EmptyString, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, choices=wxPyEmptyStringArray, style=0, validator=DefaultValidator, name=wxPyComboBoxNameStr)

Create the UI object, and other initialization.

Parameters:: parent
(type=Window); id
(type=int); value
(type=String); pos
(type=Point); size
(type=Size); choices
(type=wxArrayString); style
(type=long); validator
(type=Validator); name
(type=String)

Returns:: bool

Overrides:: wx.Control.Create

GetWidestItem(self)

Return the index of the widest item (recalculating it if necessary.)

Returns:: int

GetWidestItemWidth(self)

Return the widest item width (recalculating it if necessary.)

Returns:: int

OnDrawBackground(self, dc, rect, item, flags)

This method is used to draw the items background and, maybe, a border around it.

The base class version implements a reasonable default behaviour which consists in drawing the selected item with the standard background colour and drawing a border around the item if it is either selected or current. flags has the sam meaning as with OnDrawItem.

Parameters:: dc
(type=DC); rect
(type=Rect); item
(type=int); flags
(type=int)

OnDrawItem(self, dc, rect, item, flags)

The derived class may implement this function to actually draw the item with the given index on the provided DC. If this method is not overridden, the item text is simply drawn as if the control was a normal combobox.

Parameters:: dc - The device context to use for drawing.
(type=DC); rect - The bounding rectangle for the item being drawn, the DC's clipping region is set to this rectangle before calling this method.
(type=Rect); item - The index of the item to be drawn.
(type=int); flags - wx.combo.ODCB_PAINTING_CONTROL (The Combo control itself is being painted, instead of a list item. The item parameter may be wx.NOT_FOUND in this case. wx.combo.ODCB_PAINTING_SELECTED (An item with selection background is being painted. The DC's text colour should already be correct.
(type=int)

OnMeasureItem(self, item)

The derived class may implement this method to return the height of the specified item (in pixels). The default implementation returns text height, as if this control was a normal combobox.

Parameters:: item
(type=size_t)

Returns:: int

OnMeasureItemWidth(self, item)

The derived class may implement this method to return the width of the specified item (in pixels). If -1 is returned, then the item text width is used. The default implementation returns -1.

Parameters:: item
(type=size_t)

Returns:: int
